Observa los niveles de etanol en sangre de personas con posingestión de bebidas alcohólicas y evaluar la aplicación forense en el Perú de la alcoholemia en función de dos muestras sanguíneas sucesivas en el cálculo de la alcoholemia retrospectiva. Los voluntarios son distribuidos aleatoriamente en tres grupos experimentales (Grupos I, II y III) y un grupo de control (Grupo IV) y todos son evaluados bajo las mismas condiciones de consumo controlado de bebidas alcohólicas, los del grupo I son por vía oral una dosis de etanol 0,8 g/kg como cerveza 5 % (v/v) y los sujetos de los grupos II y III ingieren cerveza ad libitum sin sobrepasar 1,0 g/kg. Se utilizan dos muestras de sangre recolectadas sucesivamente a diferentes intervalos de tiempo. El etanol en todas las muestras de sangre cuantifica por cromatografía de gases con detector de ionización de llama. El volumen de distribuci...

Infections caused by C. albicans are of three types: cutaneous, mucosal, and systemic. In our investigation, it was a systemic infection in patients with fungemia who were isolated strains of C. albicans from blood cultures. The purpose of this research was to determine the prevalence of genes for resistance to fluconazole and voriconazole in strains of Candida albicans isolated from blood cultures in patients from the Luis Nicasio Sáenz-2018 Police Hospital Complex. 176 strains of Candida spp. that were isolated from blood cultures and for the identification of C. albicans, the germ tube test was performed and confirmed with the MicroScan RAPID YEAST ID PANEL identification test. For the susceptibility test, it was performed by the disk diffusion method. Then a PCR analysis is carried out and then sequencing with the ABI 3730xl (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, USA) of the ...

The fruits of Hylocereus monacanthus is considered a promising source of natural antioxidants and are therefore considered a functional and nutraceutical food. The objective of this study was to determine the hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic extract of Hylocereus monacanthus (EEtH) in albino rats with acute carbon tetrachloride-induced toxicity. Phytochemical analysis showed that the fruit of Hylocereus monacanthus contains phenols, flavonoids, among other secondary metabolites; the hepatoprotective activity was evaluated through the biochemical assay of albumin (ALB), direct bilirubin (BD), indirect bilirubin (BI), total bilirubin (BT), alkaline phosphatase (FAL), globulins (GLOB), total proteins (PT) and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (TGO) in serum and a histopathological study. Treatment with EEtH in albino rats with CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity maintained decreased values of ...

The main characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) energy and its current development in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LAC); its impact on the electrification of homes, health institutions, and schools in isolated or difficult-to-access communities; and, the advantages thereof are presented and discussed by replacing the use of traditional fuels such as firewood and kerosene in order to improve inhabitants ’health as well as reducing CO2 emissions. Countries like Nicaragua, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile stand out for their growing PV energy development in the region. A case study of the electrification process by PV systems shows very positive changes are manifested in terms of improving the quality of life of the inhabitants, and especially their physical and mental health state. In addition, CO2 emission reductions from electrifying 216 houses in the nine communities reach ...
